The Early Republic's Other Frontiers: Review Of Ethan Allen And His Kin: Correspondence, 1772-1819, Ed. John J. Duffy, With Ralph H. Orth, J. Kevin Graffagnino, And Michael A. Bellesiles., William C. Digiacomantonio Dec 1999

The Early Republic's Other Frontiers: Review Of Ethan Allen And His Kin: Correspondence, 1772-1819, Ed. John J. Duffy, With Ralph H. Orth, J. Kevin Graffagnino, And Michael A. Bellesiles., William C. Digiacomantonio

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979–2011)

On May 1775, Ethan Alien wrote to the Albany (N.Y.) Committee of Correspondence one of the most exciting letters, not only in this two-volume edition of selected Alien Family correspondence, but arguably in the entire annals of American military and political history. Only the day before, he had led two hundred Vermont and Massachusetts militiamen to capture the British fortress of Ticonderoga in what some consider the colonists' first offensive action of the Revolutionary War. Members of the Second Continental Congress had not yet even convened when Allen demanded the fort's surrender jointly in their name and that of the …

Mediocrity In Paradise: Review Of Mediocrity In Bad Colonists: The South Seas Letters Of Vernon Lee Walker & Louis Becke, Ed. Nicholas Thomas And Richard Eves., Therese Weber

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979–2011)

It is common for documentary editors to defend the writings with which they are dealing as important in some historical or social sense. If the author of the work is famous, or the document very old, such a defense is easy. For less well known or more recent individuals, the editor will present a case for publication: the style of the writing is remarkable, or the documents bear witness to significant events, or they have value because the writer belonged to a particular, perhaps marginalized, section of society. Nicholas Thomas and Richard Eves, the editors of the letters of Vernon …

Explorations In Class And Gender In The Old South: Review Of The Confessions Of Edward Isham: A Poor White Life Of The South, Ed. Charles C. Bolton And Scott P. Culclasure., James M. Denham Dec 1999

Explorations In Class And Gender In The Old South: Review Of The Confessions Of Edward Isham: A Poor White Life Of The South, Ed. Charles C. Bolton And Scott P. Culclasure., James M. Denham

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979–2011)

The two lives depicted in these accounts represent two dramatically different versions of life in the Old South. As the privileged daughter of a well-to-do slaveholder, Cornelia Jones Pond of Liberty County, Georgia, encountered. none of the hardships and experiences of Edward Isham-who represented a class of people that contemporaries and historians have labeled "poor white." Pond's world was a place of supportive parents, balls, dashing suitors, and loyal servants. Edward Isham's world, on the other hand, was one of bad whiskey, knives, firearms, and poverty. Their lives offer two striking contrasts of white experiences in the antebellum South.


Disparate Cultures In Contact: Review Of The Brainerd Journal: A Mission To The Cherokees, 1817-1823, Ed. Joyce B. Phillips, Paul Gary Phillips, And Philip Viles., Rowena Mcclinton Dec 1999

Disparate Cultures In Contact: Review Of The Brainerd Journal: A Mission To The Cherokees, 1817-1823, Ed. Joyce B. Phillips, Paul Gary Phillips, And Philip Viles., Rowena Mcclinton

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979–2011)

An important primary source for Cherokeer culture, the Brainerd Journal: A Mission to the Cherokees, 1817-1823, is composed of notes written almost daily by two New England missionaries, Cyrus Kingsbury and Ard Hoyt. Their contribution to Cherokee history is valuable because, other than government accounts that parallel this same era, little literature survives about these crucial years preceding forced removal in 1838-39.

Lt Teachnologies And Methodology In The New Millennium, Ted Rodgers Dec 1999

Lt Teachnologies And Methodology In The New Millennium, Ted Rodgers

PASAA

Millennial Topics are In! It's always an interesting challenge to discuss the future of anything. And this moment provides a particularly rich occasion for prophets, including those who would forecast the future of language teaching. The conservative temptation is to assume that things will carry on pretty much as they have in the past and that the future will be recognizable from clues in the present. After all, haven't classrooms maintained their familiar organization for 1,000 years? Why should methodology alter radically if the classroom stays the same?


Future Directions For Pronunciation Teaching: Intelligibility, Content, And Oral Communication, John M. Levis Dec 1999

Future Directions For Pronunciation Teaching: Intelligibility, Content, And Oral Communication, John M. Levis

PASAA

Although pronunciation has become an important component of a communicative approach to language teaching, the development of pronunciation research and teaching is faced with three important, unresolved issues. First, pronunciation theory and practice suffers from a poorly developed understanding of intelligibility, a weakness which stunts significant progress in research and teaching. Second, the widely accepted belief that suprasegmentals such as stress, rhythm and intonation are more important in intelligibility than vowel and consonant sounds is overly simplistic and should be more carefully examined. Finally, while the integration of pronunciation and oral communication curricula is critically important, attempts to integrate have …


At The Turn Of The Millennium: Communication Technology And Elt, Anil Pathak Dec 1999

At The Turn Of The Millennium: Communication Technology And Elt, Anil Pathak

PASAA

This paper argues the need for pedagogic change reflecting the communication technology revolution. It has been argued that the present curricula in Communication Skills should undergo vital changes to cater to the training needs of a developing community. The gap perceived in the potential of the communication technology and its use is significantly wide, and the communication skills training professionals have a critical role to play towards bridging this gap. The desired changes would radically alter not only the teaching methods, teaching materials and assessment patterns but also the fundamental approaches to syllabus development systems.


Changing The Management Of Change In Language Education: Learning From The Past, Lessons For The Future, Andy Curtis Dec 1999

Changing The Management Of Change In Language Education: Learning From The Past, Lessons For The Future, Andy Curtis

PASAA

Change is a constant, and this may be especially true in the field of education, and in language education in particular. The constancy, magnitude and rate of change all mitigate against a careful consideration of one set of major changes before the next is upon us. This lack of reflection may lead to change occurring, but change more of the 'history repeating itself kind', rather than innovative, positive and lasting change. Approaching the end of this period of history would seem to be an ideal time to stop and take stock of what we have learned about managing change in …

Concentrated Language Encounter Teaching Program: Elt In The New Millennium, Saowalak Rattanavich

PASAA

Whenever we approach the turn of a new century, we eagerly await the innovations that offer new challenges, both positive and negative. Certainly, there will be a higher level of communication as a result of the advances in technology that will emerge in the new century. On the negative side, there will be the worry of higher competition (which will result in a widening gap in living standards between the rich and the poor) increasing violence, population growth, unequal food distribution, globalization v.s. regionalism and fragmentation, environmental deterioration, and loss of cultural values.

British English Vs. American English: Some Implications For The Thai Users, Vinit Phinit-Akson

PASAA

The English language that is so widely used around the world today is not only an academic language but is also a global or universal language. Not only is English widely used in academic research in many areas but reports on such research are also written and discussed about in English. Moreover, much of the international trade and diplomacy throughout the world is conducted via the English language as media.


Dictation: A Rethink For The Millennium, Reongrudee Soonthornmanee Dec 1999

Dictation: A Rethink For The Millennium, Reongrudee Soonthornmanee

PASAA

Approaching the millennium has excited people around the world. In the field of language teaching/learning, there is no exception. Teachers are enthusiastic to explore "cutting-edge" themes or "hot" topics in the field in the hope of enriching their profession. As we are looking forward to the new advent of information technology and new methodology, it is also time to reevaluate the resources we have now. A rethink helps us rediscover and enhance our professional strength and growth.


Cross-Cultural Attitudes In Foreign Language Programmers, D. E. Ingram, Shirley O'Neill Dec 1999

Cross-Cultural Attitudes In Foreign Language Programmers, D. E. Ingram, Shirley O'Neill

PASAA

One of the central goals of language education in the global context is the fostering of favourable intercultural attitudes. As the world gets smaller, as communication and interaction between peoples of different races, cultures and language backgrounds increase, so the need for that interaction to be harmonious increases. Most language policies and language syllabuses espouse improved cross-cultural understanding and more favourable cross-cultural attitudes as central goals. Yet there are relatively few empirical studies that demonstrate the effect of language learning on cross-cultural attitudes or identify the variables in the language teaching/learning process that influence cross-cultural attitudes or that can be …

The Psychological Atmosphere We Create In Our Classrooms, Adrian Underhill Dec 1999

The Psychological Atmosphere We Create In Our Classrooms, Adrian Underhill

PASAA

It has been said that "we teach what we are" or even that "we teach what is going on in us at the moment" (Postman & Weingartner, 1969). These provocative statements seem to suggest that the way we are in our classes, the way we feel, think and behave while teaching, can have an effect on our learners every bit as important as the materials and techniques we use and the syllabus that guides us.


Reading Space As Time In Great Plains Recollective Architecture, Paul A. Olson Oct 1999

Reading Space As Time In Great Plains Recollective Architecture, Paul A. Olson

Department of English: Faculty Publications

It is a long way from Black Elk's tipi to the Stuart building. Clearly most cultures and periods impose one or more narrative plots on time and space (I have written of four that were part of the recent past of this state). It may be that we will need soon to return again to a celebration of the cyclical in our architecture. If the ethos of domination that goes with linear, progressive notions of time is as destructive to our environment as the Club of Rome (and other successor study groups looking at the future of the planet) have …

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979–2011)

But before telling about this work, I shall describe the structure of the project, which is collaborative in its conception and design. To ensure high quality and productivity, we have concentrated textual editing at the University of Nebraska. My colleague in the English Department, Charles Mignon, has been with the project from its beginning, and Fred Link, former chair of the English Department and director of University of Nebraska Press, joined the project shortly before he retired and has continued with it as a professor emeritus. Both brought editorial expertise to the project, one editing Edward Taylor, the other Restoration …

Failed Revolt, Faulty Edition: Review Of Designs Against Charleston: The Trial Record Of The Denmark Vesey Slave Conspiracy Of 1822Edward A. Pearson, Ed., Charles H. Lesser

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979–2011)

On June 19, 1822, a court composed of two magistrates and five freeholders convened in Charleston, South Carolina. The discovery of a planned slave revolt led by Denmark Vesey, a free black carpenter, had alarmed the city just days earlier. Before the summer was out, Vesey and thirty-four enslaved men were hanged and about the same number sentenced to be transported outside the United States. Lionel H. Kennedy and Thomas Parker, the two magistrates who presided over the trials, published An Official Report of the Trials of Sundry Negroes ... later that year:, but Kennedy and Parker's version of the …

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979–2011)

I mention this personal encounter because in this volume of letters from Pound to Olivia Rossetti Agresti, mostly written from St. Elizabeths, there is not a single mention of the. conditions under which he was living. He had been confined to the hospital in January 1946 after being adjudged by psychiatrists "eccentric, querulous, and egocentric," and unfit to stand trial for treason as a consequence of broadcasting over Rome radio during the war. For a year, he was housed in a barred cell in the criminal ward, then released to a general ward, and finally, toward the end of his …

"Nearer My Subject To Thee": Twenty Years Of A Documentary Editor's Engagement With Emma Goldman, Candace Falk

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979–2011)

I am honored to be speaking today in the city where, in 1908, the editor of the St.Louis Mirror proclaimed that Emma Goldman was "the daughter of a dream" and that "there was nothing wrong with her gospel except that she was 8,000 years ahead of her age." Here, at the twentieth anniversary of the Association for Documentary Editing, the Women's Interest Network breakfast has become a time to bond in the early morning hours with my sister-editors (and brother-editors, too) and to reflect upon our own experience as women, as documentary editors, as people who have devoted many years …

Gender Roles Presented In Children's Literature: A Random Selection And Analysis Of Non-Award Winning Books, Renae M. Poarch Jul 1999

Gender Roles Presented In Children's Literature: A Random Selection And Analysis Of Non-Award Winning Books, Renae M. Poarch

Sociology & Criminal Justice Theses & Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to examine the gender role stereotyping that occurs in children's non-award winning literature. This vast selection of non-award winning books has been neglected by researchers when selecting a sample to study. Past research has concentrated on the Caldecott and Newbery Award Winning books, which are not the majority of those owned by public libraries, hence not the majority being read by young readers. The purpose of this study was not to provide a list of appropriate reading material for parents and educators to select from, but rather provide an awareness of the issues so …
